The Defense Department said Tuesday that General Dynamics Electric Boat will build the missile tubes to support the production of the Ohio-class submarine replacement’s common missile compartment.
The Navy obligated $1.1 million in fiscal 2016 research, development, test and evaluation funds as well as $2.3 million in incremental U.K. foreign military sales funds for the modification at the time of award.
Electric Boat will perform work in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and is scheduled to finish December 2024.
